The comrades offer is generous one, but
we do not see that we can avail C=rseIves OF
it. We have heard of but three Posts that
opposed the Dependent Pension Bill, and
the officers of one of these assured us that
their action was taken under misappre-
hension as to the provisions of the bill Had
the thing to be done over they would have
reversed their action. We are charitable
enough to believe that the others feel the
same way.
The National tribune., 1887-04-21

fruit so far Of his labors was the passage of
law at the last session of Congress appro-
priating 100000 to provide arms and equip
ments for the militia This money is to be
apportioned among the States and Terrific
ries according TO the number of Senators
and Representatives, with the provision that
no State shall receive its share Of the money
unless the number of its regularly enlisted,
organized and uniformed active militia shall
be at least 100 men for each Senator and
Representative TO which such State is en-
titled in the Congress"
This is the substance of the law for which
our correspondent asks. 1t is hoped that its
effect will be 10 stimulate the formation Of
militia companies in States which have now
less than 100 uniformed militiamen for
every Senator and Representative; but even
if this follow, only a., 100 men are provided
for, which is but mere skirmish-line to the
militia army that Nation of 60,000,000
people should have. However, it is begin
ming, and may lead to much better things.
We do not place so much importance as
he does upon our correspondents objections
10 entering the State militia. While the
Governor of State is the legal Commander
in-Chief Of the militia, the latter are only
bound to obey his Idrfid orders, and the
militiaman is at all times required TO exer-
else his judgment as TO what is lawful
order. This the militia companies of Mis-
souri, and Kentucky did in 1861, when their
rebel Governors tried to force them into
supporting secession.
1t is not imperative on Camps of Sons of
Veterans to join the State militia because
they organize as military companies. We
should recommend that circumstances be
allowed TO govern this. In States where n
connection with the regular militia is de-
sirable, and where by doing so an allowance
can be secured for armory rent, uniforms,
arms, ammunition for target practice, and
pay for time spent in camp, it would be best
to join the State militia. Elsewhere it would
be preferable to organize as independent
military companies, with regimental. bri-
gade, division aud corps organizations within
the Order.
We believe that if the Sons of Veterans
viii go into the military organization with
zeal and thoroughness that they can solve
the problem of National militia. We are
sanguine that if they can present themselves
to the country as a well-organized, we'll
drilled body, ready to act as auxiliary to the
Regular Army, that Congress will accept
them as part of the military establishment
of the Nation, arm and uniform them, aud
make other allowances. They ought TO take
the prominent place in this country occu-
pied 10y the Volunteers in England, and
they will if the matter is properly man
